Elvis a Tribute

BORN IN THE SMALL TOWN 
DEEP IN THE HEART OF, MISSISSIPPI 
WAS A YOUNG COUNTRY SINGER 
NAMED ELVIS PRESLEY 
YOU WERE A MAN WITH SOUL 
YOUR SONGS FILLED WITH EMOTION 
YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR WORK 
BEING PURE DEVOTION 
THROUGH A CHANGE OF HABIT 
YOU BECAME A ROCK N ROLL STAR 
YOU ARE THE KING 
NUMBER ONE BY FAR 
THROUGH THE YEARS OF 
LOVE ME TENDER, LOVE ME TRUES 
TEDDY BEAR SONGS AND G.I. BLUES 
YOU STOLE OUR HEARTS 
AND PUT OUR MINDS AT REST 
IN YOUR ROUSTABOUT WAYS 
YOU ARE THE BEST 
AFTER THE ARMY YOU PACKED UP YOUR TEAM 
ONCE WILD IN THE COUNTRY 
YOU HAD TO FOLLOW THAT DREAM 
YOU STARRED IN SUCH MOVIES AS 
STAY AWAY JOE 
CLAMBAKE AND CHARRO 
EASY COME, EASY GO 
AFTER GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS 
WE WERE VERY IMPRESSED 
BUT JAILHOUSE ROCK 
WAS ONE OF YOUR BEST 
KISSIN’ COUSINS AND SPIN OUT 
BOTH WERE NOT BAD 
THEN THERE’S VIVA LAS VEGAS 
AND KID GALAHAD 
LIVE A LITTLE, LOVE A LITTLE 
IT HAPPENED AT THE WORLDS FAIR 
HARUM SCARUM AND TICKLE ME 
FRANKIE AND JOHNNY WHAT A PAIR 
PARADISE, HAWAIIAN STYLE FUN 
IN ACAPULCO TOO ! 
BLUE HAWAII, GIRL HAPPY 
SPEEDWAY AND LOVING YOU 
FROM KING CREOLE 
TO A FLAMING STAR 
I’M STUCK ON YOU 
WHERE EVER YOU ARE 
NOW WE ARE IN DOUBLE TROUBLE 
YOU LEFT US SO FAST 
BUT I’LL REMEMBER YOU 
PRESENT, FUTURE OR PAST YOU 
THRILLED THE AUDIENCE 
WITH THAT SPECIAL TOUCH 
THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS 
THEY LOVED YOU TOO MUCH 
NOW I’M ALL SHOOK UP 
AND FEELING BLUE 
CAUSE I CAN’T HELP 
FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU 
YOU WERE A YOUNG MAN 
THE AGE OF FORTY TWO 
WE’LL NEVER FORGET 
THE WONDER OF YOU.
